Paul Stubing indicated that the Osprey was built on Bear Island (near Bucks Harbor) and that she was used for sightseeing in Bar Harbor. There are many passengers on board and the boat is headed towards the Porcupine Islands off Bar Harbor. She has a sign on top which says Deep Sea Fishing.
Paul Stubing went on to say that she started out as a sloop hauling freight and had a 3 cylinder Palmer engine. He also mentioned " broken up in West Mystic in late 1970's".
